Our accreditation is your assurance of quality

The most important mark of quality for a university and its programs is state accreditation. The criteria for the accreditation of study programs are established and objective, so that you as an outside party – a parent, student, instructor – can judge the value of the education offered and the courses available.

What exactly is accreditation?

The accreditation of educational institutions is a process of quality assurance, the purpose being to establish whether a university’s education and research activities meet the recognized academic standards. The main aim of institutional accreditation is therefore to assure the academic performance of a university. This also includes the institution’s own system of quality control. In addition, accreditation protects students as well as employers that hire graduates.
